Developing ideas
Have you heard of the poem and the book below
饮酒 其五
结庐在人境，而无车马喧。
问君何能尔，心远地自偏。
采菊东篱下，悠然见南山；
山气日夕佳，飞鸟相与还。
此中有真意，欲辨已忘言。
Tao Yuanming
Henry David Thoreau
Who are the authors of them
What do you know about them
Returning to Live in the South (I)
When young, I'd not enjoyed the common pleasures,
My nature's basic love was for the hills.
Mistakenly I fell into the worldly net,
And thus remained for thirteen years.
A bird once caged must yearn for its old forest,
A fish in a pond will long to return to the lake.
So now I want to head to southern lands,
Returning to my fields and orchards there.
About ten acres of land is all I have,
Just eight or nine rooms there in my thatched hut.
There's shade from elms and willows behind the eaves,
Before the hall are gathered peaches and plums.
Beyond the dark and distance lies a village,
The smoke above reluctant to depart.
A dog is barking somewhere down the lane,
And chickens sit atop the mulberry tree.
The mundane world has no place in my home,
My modest rooms are for the most part vacant.
At last I feel released from my confinement,
I set myself to rights again.
Enjoy one of his poems
归园田居(其一)
陶渊明
少无适俗韵，
性本爱丘山。
误落尘网中，
一去十三年。
羁鸟恋旧林，
池鱼思故渊。
开荒南野际，
守拙归园田。
方宅十余亩，
草屋八九间。
榆柳荫后檐，
桃李罗堂前。
暧暧远人村，
依依墟里烟。
狗吠深巷中，
鸡鸣桑树颠。
户庭无尘杂，
虚室有余闲。
Find the Chinese version of Tao's poem, and translate Thoreau's quote into Chinese.
好好度过每一个季节，
呼吸新鲜的空气，
畅饮美酒，品尝水果，
尽情享受这一切。
让生活中只有饮食和草药。

Tao Yuanming
Tao Yuanming spent most of his life in reclusion(隐居), living in a small house in the countryside, reading, drinking wine, receiving the occasional guest, and writing poems in which he often reflected on the pleasures and difficulties of life in the countryside, as well as his decision to withdraw from civil service.
He is also regarded as the foremost(最重要的) representative of what would latter be known as Fields and Gardens poetry.
“I would not bow like a servant in return for five dou of grain” (不为五斗米折腰) has been a famous line until today.

Both men made dramatic transformations to their lives in order to reconnect with nature. As an official in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Tao felt conflicted over life at court. In 405, he quit the service of the court for good, expressing his unhappiness in the now famous line that he would not"bow like a servant in return for five dou of grain". He spent the next 22 years until his death, working the land in a poor, rural area from his poetry, we can learn that although his life was arduous, he succeeded in finding contentment in its simplicity and in drawing pleasure from nature.
1.Why did Tao Yuanming quit the service of the court
A. He was paid only five dou of grain.
B. He was tired of the conflict over life at court.
C. He could live a decent life in the rural area.
D. He was forced to do this by his superior.
While Tao's return to nature was a reaction to a lifestyle he was opposed to, Thoreau's was a personal decision to transform the way he lived. He had a decent quality of life, but he wanted to live in a simpler way. For two years, two months and two days, he lived in a cottage in the forest on the edge of Walden Pond, focusing on himself and his writing. He explained his reason for doing so in Walden: " went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life. Both men were happy to withdraw from contemporary life, seeking a harmonious relationship with nature in the quietness of their lives.
2.Why did Thoreau return to nature
A. He wanted to transform the way he lived.
B. He wanted to follow the example of Tao Yuanming.
C. His hut(小屋) in the forest needed cleaning.
D. His life was hard.
Although Tao and Thoreau do not treat nature in quite the same way, their works show its beauty and value. Tao's nature is a place of fields and villages, in other words, rural, and his animals are domestic ones, such as chickens and dogs. The calm and peaceful life he wrote about is in contrast to and critical of the depressive court life:
Thoreau's descriptions of nature emphasised the beauty and purity of the wild areas around him Devoting himself to observations of the natural phenomena，he recorded his detailed findings in his journals. Thoreau's writing aimed to convince people that animals and plants had a right to live and prosper, as we do. We should live with them in harmony and enjoy nature's gifts, as he describes in his journals:
3. What did they have in common
A. They treated nature in the same way.
B. They both lived in the 19th century.
C. They were both responsible for their families. D. Their works showed the beauty of nature.
Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each. Let them be your only diet, drink and botanical medicines.
It takes considerable courage to reject the easy and familiar and instead try to live closer to nature, as both Tao and Thoreau did. Their choices led them to quiet and reflective lives with fewer material desires. In today's modern world, their ideas about living simply and being at ease with nature may take us a step closer to attaining personal well-being and fulfilment.
4. What does Thoreau’s work mainly embody(体现）
A. Nature's wildness is beautiful.
B. We should raise more animals.
C. Man should live in harmany with nature.
D. We should eat more fruit.
5. How does the author develop the text
A. By describing
B. By quoting
C. By comparing
D. By reasoning(推理)
2. In 405, he quit the service of the court for good, expressing his unhappiness in the now famous line that he would not “bow like a servant in return for five dou of grain”.
